Suntanned toes Layout 13

One last layout for you before a few days off to celebrate Easter!

This layout was for two challenges, the April Bring in the Sun challenge at Scrap Our Stash, and the Counterfeit Kit Challenge.

Everything I used on this layout was from my conterfeit kit. One thing that I was worried about was that all my layouts from my kit would look too similar for my liking. But with all the paper that I added, it was easy to leave some colors out of my last layout to make them look different enough.

For the Scrap Our Stash challenge, we had to use something with sun. I have very few pictures of me at the beach, but I had this one of my feet in the sand. I couldn't help but to think of the start of Kenny Chesney's song, When The Sun Goes Down.

Suntanned toes, tickling the sand.
cold drink chillin' in my right hand.....

Perfect for my picture!

I decided to layer lots of embellies from my kit. And the title is cut from the Don Juan Cricut cartridge.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter! I will see you next week! Happy crafting

Goodbye Glasses Layout 12-Counterfeit Kit Challenge

This is one of the layouts from my counterfeit kit, about my Lasik. My hubby took the picture of me with the creepy looking eye sheilds that I had to wear the first few night. I didn't think about doing a layout until I saw his picture. I had a long list of doctor's orders and lots of eye drops too. And of course, I couldn't forget a picture of my calendar!!

Most of this was from my kit, but I added a couple of scraps of Echo Park paper. The black glitter stickers are from Basic Grey and the transparency is from Colorbok.

I've got one more layout finished, so look for that in a couple of days! Happy crafting!

Layout # 9, New Ink

One of my goals this year was to scrap more about me. Just last month, I finally got a new tattoo that I have been thinking about for a while. Three stars, one big one for my oldest, and two smaller ones for my twins. So a good reason to do a layout about me! (I still have to work on getting some pictures of me on the layouts!)

I printed my photo as a 5x7 since it was going to be the only one on the layout. I used some Paper Studio flowers with a Beadazzles center. I made a stick pin, and the paper ribbon. I tried one of the my crocheted trims, but it seemed too out of place, so I changed it to the paper ribbon. I added a little bit of mini pom-pom trim and some ribbon from the scrapbook store. The transparency was from the cover of a DCWV black and white stack. It was half of the cover, so I cut it out and used it. I added the metal charm and the epoxy brad. The paper is from the DCWV Cotton Bloom paper stack. The title is cut from the Cricut font Blackletter and welded together using my Gypsy. I am not sure I like the title. I was having a brain freeze or something, but I may change the title if I can come up with something else. If you have a suggestion, let me know. We all need a little help sometimes, right?!? Thanks for stopping by! Happy crafting!
